A groundbreaking work of US shoegaze! A masterpiece from the late '90s that blossomed with experimental spirit and originality, All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors' "Turning Into Small" (1998) is being reissued for the first time on CD and vinyl! This is the second release from Sleep like a pillow's "project; pygmalion"!

All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors, a shoegaze band from New Jersey, USA, have reissued their second album, "Turning Into Small," released in 1998 on their hometown label, Gern Blandsten, on CD and vinyl. Formed in the mid-'90s, All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors were influenced by UK shoegaze and alternative rock acts led by My Bloody Valentine, while pursuing an original, experimental sound in the US emo/indie scene. Their innovative spirit blossomed on their final album, "Turning Into Small."

The album's first standout track is the nearly eight-minute "Your Imagination." Its spacey soundscape is deeply immersive, and it's become synonymous with the band as a masterpiece that heralded the new wave of shoegaze music that emerged in the late '90s and beyond. However, even more noteworthy are tracks like "Puzzled Into Pieces" and "In Between And After," characterized by their thick, synthesizer-driven electronic sound, collage-like developments and ensembles that vary in tempo, and occasionally bouncy melodies. The resulting sense of mysterious floating is hard to find in any other shoegaze band. While echoing bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, and The Flaming Lips, their mutant, eclectic sound also shares similarities with contemporary shoegaze acts like Swirlies, Serena-Maneesh, and even "They Are Gutting a Body of Water." Now is the time to check out this groundbreaking US shoegaze album, which remains relevant today thanks to its timeless experimental spirit and originality.
